Warren Buffett
Money is not everything. Make sure you earn a lot before speaking such nonsense.
Warren Buffett
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love. But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
Warren Buffett
The most important thing in terms of your circle of competence is not how large the area of it is, but how well you've defined the perimeter.
Warren Buffett
